As some of you may know I've been back at home for a few weeks to get some work done on the 300. I thought I would share some pics and info on my progress

My tripmeter and odometer from my 1990 Nissan 300ZX twin turbo don't work well, sometimes they run and then they stop again. Also my speedo meter, it drops completely dead, maybe later it suddenly comes alive again and going up and down and then it works again. But later it will fall dead again, etc. Any idea what this problem can be with my meters? Maybe the sensor on the automatic?....or?

I seem to of I seem to of misplaced my gearbox bolts, am i right in thinging that I cb24 only source not her set from a tt manual and other variants used different sizes? Thanks

As title - a big thanks to Andy Marsh....:thumbup: These arrived today.... https://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?183149-The-Great-Indicator-Sale&p=1894630&viewfull=1#post1894630 .....very well packed to protect against any mishaps in the post. And then when I opened the parcel, I was even more impressed with the lights - very well finished indeed and a veritable bargain to boot...:thumbup: I reckon they're the perfect replacement for my OEM UK spec blanks:cool: Cheers Andy:sorcerer:

Looking at timings from last year : Meet at Fleet services Westbound 06:45 Leave at 07:00 sharp. Fleet to Southampton 60 miles I'll be there Art

A couple of HICAS advisories on the MOT this year that i want to prepare for in plenty of time for next year, so what are my options and does anyone have the things i need in good condition? Nearside Rear Track rod end ball joint has slight play (2.2.B.1f) Offside Rear Track rod end ball joint has slight play (2.2.B.1f) Are these specifics still available as new, or as pattern parts? Or am i looking at decent used versions? i have a lockout bracket to replace the rack, but not the bars that replace the track rods i think, so of no benefit in this instance.

Anyone know where to buy oil seals for the rear knuckles ? I've managed to damage the ones i had by overheating them when i used a blow torch to burn the old bushes out . I think the part number is 4325230P00 but i'm nut sure.

Hey all, At last I have my engine up and running after my mis-threaded spark plug scare :) I've invested in an ECUTalk connector cable and have for the first time, a working set of diagnostics for my Zed. In the attached photo, can anyone lend their expertise on the gauge readouts...are they okay? Just where do you start when checking the engine's performance? Opinions welcome - thanks - Andy

Hi all, not been very active of late, where is the best place to but a timing belt kit. Cars been sat around for a while (3999 miles since 2011) and i forgot about the belt. Cheers

Picked a parcel up this morning at Tomb Street Belfast. As I walked back to the Z it just stood out in all its glory sitting parked in the street so had to take a quick pic. Only after I had taken the picture I noticed I had captured the "Retro" signage on the wall. Where's yours parked?

Hi Guys Can anyone tell me if you can fit the below set up on a zed without heavy arch modding? 9.5j ET15 with 265/35/18 front 10.5j ET5 with 315/30/18 rear. thanks

Hi All!! Been a long time since i frequented these here walls...... but i knew I would one day return and that day is fast approaching. Off to pick up a stunning and well known 300 this weekend and cannot wait. I look forward to speaking and meeting up with you all again. I see there are lots of familiar names still active after my 6 year absence. Anyway looking forward to Zed ownership once again. I hope you wont hold my insanity for moving to subaru for so long against me...... all the best Craig

I'm just after people's opinions on the rear of the blue car. It's one of the things I've remained unsure on. Initially, I was quite set on changing them to 99spec style light but Most bypassers locally seem to like the back lights on this better than the more traditional ones. So now I'm just not sure. What do people think

Hey all, Refurbing a Z (90' UK auto TT), and when doing a vacuum test I found an air leak right here under the throttle body: I can see a pipe connection under there which I believe links up to the vacuum/fuel system, as when I pressurise the air intake and this leaks, there is a faint smell of fuel. Before I start taking the throttle body off and replacing pipes/adding jubilee clips I thought I'd ask those who actually know what they are doing haha. Anyone experienced this before/know for certain what the pipe is (assuming it is that pipe?) and any advice on fixing it? Thanks!

Hi is it possible to remove the 2 pins that hold the lid to the base as I've got 2 ashtrays one with lid broke the other one as a broken base hoping to make 1 good one at the pair thanks

Hello Chaps Can anyone recommend a good place to procure a Clutch Kit for a 89 NA. I noticed a wee bit of clutch shudder at Coventry and might as well change the whole thing i guess. What concerns me is that the europarts pages etc may not differentiate between TT and NA or Z31 or Z32 clutch, despite putting in the reg etc... just wanna make sure I get the right kit. Cheers! By the way, a standard OEM clutch is fine, don't need no stage 73.8 or super strength malarkey, just good old OEM will do fine methinks..... ta very much.

I am going to have to get some advice based on numbers or experience for this one. . . I have finished reshelling the body thanks to a great, wicked mean looking body kit from the zcentre in the UK, and after about 6 months graft it has finally been painted. Just doors etc to do now. As that has come together nicely I managed to pick up a used engine from the guys at Nippon Auto spares in Derby to do the whole TT conversion thing. I know there are huge writers on this so I'm not going to bore you with the details suffice to say Holsett hx35's :) Looking for something to beat a mates car running 395 PS / 390 bhp / 291 kW @ 6100 rpm with a curb weight of 17…

Hi guys. I appreciate there is the Howmanyleft website. But how accurate is it. I've checked my new TT auto LWB U.K. Spec. The site says it's the only one left in the country. How true could this be and is there a definitive way of finding this out? Cheers Edd Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Spotted a silver Z32 with a 99spec front bumper while I was strolling to the pub, very close to where I live! Somewhat shocked there's a other one so close, is it anyone from here?

well went to fit DRL and painted callipers over the weekend. so drove it to the unit, no problems, drove into the unit still good. looked at some excess wiring which was attached to nothing so cut 2 cable ties and then decided to put her up on the ramps and thats when it all went wrong. She just wouldn't go into drive!!! only reverse and neutral but wouldn't go any further into drive, so decided to remove all the old toad alarm(which didn't work) and the immobiliser set up. what a load of bad wiring,poor connections, but thats done and ready for a better system at a later date. But the problem is still there and the car still won't to go into drive, she is no…

The insides of my wheels I try to keep clean. Unfortunately whenever I get tyres changed, I'm left with unsightly residue/sticky stuff. What's the best stuff to dissolve all this? I know there are plenty of products on the market, but there's often a small foam backing on these weights which also sticks firm and a lot of the residue removers can't penetrate this. Would brake cleaner be good? The wheel insides will be cleaned and waxed after.
